Hi ajeet,
thanks for the effort, i noticed some bugs on my htc desire (oxygen rom , android 2.3 )
it skipped the first 30 seconds of my video
audio/video wasnt in sync (maybe cause of the skip? )
subs didnt show up
some infos about the video:
video: MPEG4 (H264) 712x480 29,97 fps
audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo
Subtitle: Advanced SubStation Alpha
//edit:
forgot to extract the mplayer subtitle folder ><
subs are working now, even though the progress bar makes it impossible to read them ^^
best regards
Kemo

Great job, I tried an MKV BDRip with MPEG-4 video and AC3 audio. Works flawlessly on my [email protected]
However, in the subtitle there are "á é í ó ő ú ű" letters and instead of these, there are some weird symbols shown. I tried this with SRT and SSA subs saved as UTF-8, but no luck.
Atm, this looks promising, so keep it up.
+1
Edit: please, for heaven's sake, avoid RapidShare. But if you like RS, then use multiupload. Thanks

Option key will hide the statusbar/seekbar

i try avc + aac mp4 (640*360 + 44Khz/128kb) on my milestone eclair
it too slow so not sync and i try the stop the play it crashed

Nice work. I only have flvs on my phone right now, but they play very well. quite responsive too.
Could the controls hide on screen tap as well as menu button?
Also, how mplayer is this? I realize that the frontend is going to be original work, but wonder how much porting you had to do for the player itself.

You can use option key to hide menu(s) . I have used sdl ported by Pelya(commander genius) for audio output and written video driver for android from scratch.

So due to some bug neon acceleration is not working with this version. I will fix that then you can watch h264 w/o any issue.

screen shots would be cool and if you can get some of the gpu/cpu accelerations combos working on higher end devices like Hummingbird and Powervr.

Very nice it works even on the archos tablet and without any stutering or delays. Keep up the good work.
This is the first non stock media player that works good for general use.

great player, best i've found on the market yet.

It's perfect for my Legend ! the best player for the video quality.
And subtitles work fine. The only "problem" is that I always have the interface at the top and bottom of the video. So, I can't read subtitles.
I tried to open settings but it does't exist.
Great job anyway

The best working video player on my X10. Just one problem I am from Slovenia, any chance for Slovenian, Croatian,,,,letters support.
Thanks

OK, I have tested streaming from an URL (Mpeg-TS-stream - dreambox)
1) on my HTC HD2 running HD Desire: works although there are some delay/lag. Also problems with syncronization of video/audio
2) on my Samsung i5800: I get pictures and then it pauses for 2-3 seconds and I get new frames and then it stops again and so on. Audio works without breaking. Perhaps its processor is not fast enough to handle a stream with a ratio of 1:1?
3) the preferences button seems disabled.
I look forward to next releases.

can somebody tell me what does it mean to stream a url? help

Streaming from an URL means playing (therefore sending) a file (be it video, music...) over the net on a remote device.
(Trying to keep the definition simple).

[Q] Question before buying Gtab

Hi,
I am new to Android and I would like to get some help for a few questions before buying a Gtablet.
1) Flash support - I saw it's posted on the official website it has a temp version of flash player. Can I know if it works well? I need to watch high-def flash movies on different websites. I hope it can play smoothly. Also am I able to play facebook flash games?
2) RMVB/AVI/MKV support - I have tons of these kind of videos on my NAS server but the official site does not say they are supported. I heard there is a Rockplayer that can do it, but I went to their App Store and found no such software. Can i know a way to play these formats? If the hardware does not support them, and there is a software does, how is the quality and speed?
3) Local LAN share - I think I already googled there is one called EStrong, can I open my NAS file share folders, and play Video directly?
4) Customization - Can I install apps from anywhere instead of their app store? for example can i install Android Market? or install an app from a file?
That's pretty much what i concerns so far, other than that this is a great tablet!
I much appreciate your advices.

I can help with the first and fourth ones. This afternoon I watched an episode of outsourced on nbc.com. it wasnt perfect, but definatly viewable, and youtube videos all look fine for me. As for the last one, I have the android market installed, and I have also installed .apks that I have the file form so yea they do work.

re. 2, my son user rockplayer to watch some mkvs last weekend. I'm not that familiar w/anime, but he said it wasn't handling embedded softsubs. We did find another player on market that did but I don't remember the name.
re. 3, ES Explorer will copy files over lan (windows shares or ftp), but it's not for streaming.

Mkv support depends more on how it was encoded. I ripped some DVDs to mkv with 5.1 sound using handbrake and those will play in rockplayer using software decode fine.

I should clarify my earlier post. We were able to watch the MKVs (animes) he had downloaded fine with rockplayer. But they had softsubs, and it wasn't showing those.

Re. 1, my wife uses the Gtab to watch Kdramas, on sites that stream flash, and it works pretty well. Served from sites like tudou, qdisk, etc., and works ok, but a lot of those sites sometimes have heavy traffic, and even with a PC, they get jerky, so it's not the Gtab, but the stream server and traffic usually.

Works on news sites, tv.com, hulu, but thats with vegan 5.1. The stock rom ran flash "ok" but would crash some times.

According to the specs It will play:
32-bit LP-DDR2, DDR2
S1080p H.264/H.263/ VC-1/MPEG-2/4/WMV9/DiVX 4/5 Video Decode
1080p H.264/MPEG-4 Video Encode
Supports multi-standard audio formats, including AAC, AMR, WMA, and MP3
Not all of those are working currently (some are and some aren't). Get yourself a good video encoder/dvd ripper for your computer and once they are encoded, you just drag and drop onto the gtab. If they are encoded properly with the proper settings, you get descent video quality.
4) Customization - Can I install apps from anywhere instead of their app store? for example can i install Android Market? or install an app from a file?

Yes but you will need to do a couple updates using the developer instructions from here and then do a market fix. The easiest one is the simple performance pack update to the 3389 build with a market fix, however over 5,000 people have gone to vegan 5.1
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/
It is the best from what i can tell, wicked fast. It has two issues curently 1) Micro SD card management/file mgt 2) Keyboard auto correct. Updates seem to come out every 10 days to 2 weeks right now.

Thank you all!
Thanks a lot for your answers it helped me a lot!

[Q] How do we not have enhanced podcast (.m4a) support on Android yet?

Is there something specific to the platform that is preventing enhanced .m4a support on Android? As far as I can see from scouring the internet, it looks like we don't have a single media player that supports the enhanced features of chaptering and embedded images offered by enhanced .m4a files. This is supported in every apple device, if I am not mistaken.
Any ideas?

Found One!
In case anybody is interested, somebody on reddit came through for me:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.akimbo.abp.trial&feature=search_result
Akimbo is an audiobook reader that handles .m4a chaptering and images pretty perfectly. Their library setup is a ****ty mess, but it has otherwise been strong so far.

yes this one works........ nearly.
The enhanced podcasts I use have several differant images per chapter, and the player moves onto the next image only at the next chapter so come the 2nd chapter it is several images behind.

.m4a files play just fine on the stock music player of my LG vortex, and the blur'd music player of the DX2. where are you encountering issues playing .m4a file?

the audio playback is fine on every player its the images encoded into the podcast that dont display properly

Same issue here. I want to access enhanced podcasts from Coffee Break Spanish but I couldn't. Those podcasts also have multiple images per chapter.

I'm very interested in this as well. I've been using Pocket Casts which is a great player but doesn't support the contextual images and links.
My example Specifically is the "Rooster Teeth Podcast".
On my old iPhone the embedded images displayed perfectly in apps like Downcast and the native iTunes Player had functional Live links some of the time.
I'm desperately searching for one, but I've had no luck.

has anyone had any luck yet with this one? I am thinking about using my old hd2 just for m4a playback

I asked the developer of Pocketcasts about this. And it seems they're missing the tools to make this.
" We've been looking into it, but that format is a proprietary Apple standard that no one else has support for. So our iOS app supports it out of the box, because Apple has the developer tools for us to do that. On Android Google don't, and we've yet to find a third-party library we can use that does, which leaves us stuck. So short story: yes we'd love to, but we don't think we can."
Bummer.

The feature is supported by VLC on the desktop (and likely other open source desktop apps). Handbrake also supports it; it can encode the chapter data into m4v files. In reading about it, it seems like the chapter data is simply encoded into the file in plaintext. I don't know how easy or hard it is to read that data on Android, but it definitely seems do-able (seeing as how the above 2 open source apps do it).

Any update on this?

I don't believe that windows mobile has one up over android ??

It seems like Podcast Republic does the job ? unfortunately is has some bugs on my LG G3, like background play doesnt work, and rotating the devices skips chapters :silly:
Hopefully it will be resolved in a newer version.

This app is absolutely useless.!!! It has NO idea about chapters, let alone that there ARE chapters in the podcast....
I'm so vukking fed-up with Android's incompetence!!!!
The only way to even remotely use chapters is to play AAC files with an accompanying CUE sheet with PowerAmp...

Well, it Works for me with chapters for the few podcasts i subscribe to like Hardwell on air and Tiesto Club life.

[APP][4.0+] MP4 Video Repair

Has your phone battery ever died during video recording and you ended up with the unplayable file?
If so, Video Repair is for your!
Video Repair allows easy recovery of corrupted MP4 files recorded with Android devices. At the moment it supports H264, AAC and MPEG4-SP (the last one is rather slow). If other codecs turn out to be popular I’ll implement it as well. If your recording got interrupted and you’re getting "Can't play this video." error message when trying to open the video Video Repair should be able to fix it. All you need is another working video file recorded using the same camera settings which can be used as reference. Video Repair will attempt to automatically pick the reference file.
Video Repair doesn’t support fixing or transoding of videos downloaded from the internet or recorded with other devices.
This app is a work-in-progress.
The UI isn’t polished yet but the main functionality is stable.
I successfully recovered couple video files recorded on different devices (luckily all my devices used H264/AAC codecs). I wanted to release it asap so that I can get your feedback and judge what are the common problems with broken files.
Video Repair is available on Google Play and you can watch the repaired video for free. Sharing or saving requires a small in-app purchase.
Please post your feedback below.
If your video can't be recovered by current version of Video Repair and you're OK with sharing it please email me a broken video and another short video recorded with the same device to [email protected] . I'll do my best to allow fixing of your file in future versions of Video Repair.
Smallprint
Video Repair uses unmodified code of JAAD library licensed under LGPL.

You're asking about MPEG4-SP (mp4v) video codec?
I'm working on this feature right now. So far I managed to recover some short videos but there are still some artifacts which I need to fix.
Please send me some sample videos (two couple seconds long videos is enough) to [email protected] so that I can ensure that your codec is supported in the future updates.

Awesome! I'd appreciate if you could leave a comment on Google Play so that others know that the app is a real thing.

I've a Galaxy S3 and it normally generates mp4 files but left me with a temp_video file. I "fixed" it with your app and on the phone the audio is "OK" I think but the video is maybe 1/2 time? If I play it on my PC with vlc media player, both audio and video are choppy and if I play it with the windows media player it's the same as on my phone - audio is the right speed but the video is maybe 1/2 time or so. Should my phone be supported? I'd send you the file but it's 1.2G or so... I could put it up on an ftp server if you like? PM me?

Yes, Galaxy S3 is supported.
I added some fixes in the latest update (version 0.2.4) which should make a playback consistent on VLC and Android video player.
Unfortunately in the file you sent me the camera crashed in the middle of the recording so there is video only for the first half of the file, the rest is audio only. There is no way to recover more video since is not there Optimistically, the glass is half full tho (half of the file is playable)!

Phone died at the end of recording video and left temp file. I couldn't get your app to recognize it until I renamed it temp_file.mp4. Ran it and it worked on the first minute and a half. The video is 22 minutes long. Any advice?
BTW this is the furthest I have gotten with the video out of almost 10 programs- keep up the good work!

I have 3 .tmp files and I'm using one .mp4 file as a reference. Worked like a charm. If anyone has problems importing the files, make sure they're in .tmp extension. :good: Good project. Keep up the development. You are saving a lot of people's data. Cheers.

OH GOD IT WORKED , I swear i tried like every program on the internet but none of them worked, some worked but the video was out of sync with the audio but this great app worked in matter of seconds . I LOVE YOU <3
please tell me how to donate as i don't have a credit card
THANKS!! <3
i'll finish all the Thanks on you

Please consider adding support for . m4v video format
Thank you

Can you please do something for audio repair too ? I have few audio recordings which have the same issue.

Worked great on a 5 minute MP4.
I was skeptical at first, but it did a great job. Keep up the good work ?

At the moment I'm concentrating on the video recovery but maybe I'd add audio only at some point.

I recorded on a HTC EVO 4G, three years ago. Basically the video and sound are not sync. The video is moving but the sound is a couple of seconds behind.

The file was not playable when you recorded it and after processing by MP4 Video Repair it's playable but there is a sync issue right?
Is the difference constant through the video or is sync better at the beginning and then getting worse over time?
If the difference is constant the only way to sync it is to use some external (PC) app and synchronize it manually.
Otherwise, if the difference is increasing over time, you may try running the broken file through the latest version of MP4 Video Repair or trying to select different reference file.

[Q] How to convert a .wtv file to view on the OPO?

The title pretty much speaks for itself.
I want to use my OPO to store and playback recorded WMC TV content, (Windows 7.)
In a dream world, preferably without converting to different file format.
If not, is there a good, free piece of software that anyone can recommend?
And so on...
I did search for this topic, couldn't find a suitable thread.

Have a look at http://mctvconverter.vivolum.net/ - found in less than 30 seconds with Google
Oh, and this really should be in the "Q & A" forum as it is a question :silly:

Yes, it is a question, but hoping for feedback from those who have used software to allow viewing...
Also, concerned about downloading any software from the web without verification from at least a couple of users who have had good experiences with it.
Thanks for your input.

I can suggest this beautiful open source software project, licensed under the GNU General Public License v2:
MCEBuddy.
IMHO, one of the best WTV converters for Windows systems.
The latest two versions require a small donation, but previous versions are free of charge.

I have been looking at MCEBuddy. It seems as though older versions are free, and the "new and faster" version requires a minimum $25 "donation."
I don't mind paying, after I have had a trial, but don't see that option.
Which version are you using, fastleo?

I'm using the free 2.3.13 version.

Thanks, I am trying the MC-TV Converter as I type this. It looks like about 15 - 20 minutes to convert a file of about 1 GB.
Will try the same file with MCE Buddy, which I expect will be faster, (which will also mean, better.)

OK, showing my lack of expertise here. I converted file to .mpg4 file type, and dropped it in the camera folder of my OnePlus phone.
It will not play, although a preview thumbnail showed up with an image...
Should I be using a different file type for Android to play the video, or drop the video into a different folder, or both?
Thanks...

Try renaming it to .mp4 or .m4v. Also, which video player are you using?

Convert to MP4 or MKV then play using MX Player, you shouldn't have any problems then.

I downloaded VLC for Android, then put the video in a folder on my OPO I titled Recorded TV (in Movies folder.) VLC plays my video quite nicely.
Next, I will try MCEBuddy to see if it is faster than MC-TV Converter.
Thanks, all, for your patience. This will save me from having to carry my OPO and my tablet. As long as I load the right content, can now keep up with some TV on my phone. Things like sports or epic movies deserve a bigger screen, but there is plenty to watch on my phone now!

MCEBuddy is way faster, esp if you have the hardware encoding encoding enabled it blows the rest away. Even without hardware encoding if you're using the latest builds 2.3.15 or 2.4.1 it's still 30%-40% faster. (a little less than half the time) esp for HD and H264 video.

I have been looking at MCEBuddy. It seems as though older versions are free, and the "new and faster" version requires a minimum $25 "donation."
I don't mind paying, after I have had a trial, but don't see that option.
Which version are you using, fastleo?

They are running a promotion on facebook, check out mcebuddy on facebook (I can't post the link here).
I think it $15 right now.
